If you live anywhere it rains a lot, then you know if it is sunny or nice out you better get youself out there and enjoy it. On average, my beautiful island, gets rain 180 days a year. This is why the island is so green though.
This summer I intend to take full advantage of any good weather and either play or work or work and play.
Horseshoes! I love to play horseshoes. It reminds me of being a kid, enjoying summer BBQ's and playing tournaments with my family. As a kid I didn't win much, I come from a very competive family (VERY) and I was the youngest, smallest, weakest but never got any special treatment, but I still liked to play.
When we bought our house, the horseshoe pits on the property was one of the selling features, although they needed a little work. So four years later I have finally worked on them.

Upper left photo...on the sides of the pits were wooden "planks" attached to the sub-frame. Last year the hubby and I pulled those board up, because they were very rotted and either needed to be replaced or we had to come up with another plan. Since some of the sub-frame was broken, we decided to dig up the sub-frame and just create a large pit.

So far I have played three games on them...and have been the winner each time!!!!
